My son was out at a garage sale this morning and called me asking if I wanted an old camera he had found. After he described it, I said sure. This is it, a Zeiss Icon Contina IIA, in pretty good shape for it's age. Also coming with it was this lens cleaning cloth that I figure was given away when someone bought a Leica. Now where is the Leica that it came with? Anyway I think I got my $5 worth.

You've got yourself a well-manufactured camera! And Foto Klein is still in business, located next to the Dom...
Can you provide me with the numbering on the camera? On both sides you will find the info I'm looking for (well, the Zeiss Ikon collecting community...).

The only difference I can see is the lack of interchangeable front elements. Hey Hans I have a modest collection of Zeiss, you want my details. PM me if it is possible on this forum. |

Phil, sure it is possible on this forum. We - the Zeiss Historica Society - collect almost every number inscribed in whatever Zeiss or Zeiss Ikon product... Why Zeiss Ikon? Because of the bombing of Dresden in 1945 (all production records lost) and in 1972 the bust company put the records in the famous round bin:-( If you are interested in numbers, see the (rather dull, I admit) website www.holoceeen.nl.

Hans I can't open it. I'll send you a list of what I have and I'll get others for you. I guess as much info as possible, ie lens, shutters etc.
